We're still in the period of hype where naysayers are put on the shelf in order to push the narrative. Remember solar panel roads?
My money says they have a thin layer of magnet coating a material creating the illusion of the messneir effect. A parlor trick with a very long crafting time. People want it to be true, and there will be conspiracy circles about the government locking down the research.
I hope I'm wrong. But I'm not driving on any solar roads.
Those two things aren’t remotely comparable. Solar roadways are technically totally possible without any new inventions, they are just a fundamentally stupid idea.
The whole point of replication by other groups is to rule out parlor tricks. If it can be replicated by independent labs and even works in simulations, it’s real. That’s why this is a preliminary paper at the moment.
How much stock do you place in the simulations suggesting superconducting properties likely adhere?
I may be misunderstanding the recap so please feel free to correct.
